Facebook Hacker Cup 2013: round 1 problem analysis - Notes - Tweakblogs - Tweakers: "Round 1 of the Facebook Hacker Cup has just ended. Competitors were required to solve three nicely-balanced problems: all of them required substantial thought, without being unreasonably difficult. Like last week, I will describe my solutions to the problems, although this time the solution source code is written in C++.C++ containers that save memory and time
C++ containers that save memory and time: "We’re pleased to announce C++ B-Tree, a C++ template library that implements B-tree containers with an analogous interface to the standard STL map, set, multimap, and multiset containers. B-trees are well-known data structures for organizing secondary storage, because they are optimized for reading and writing large blocks of data. But the same property that makes B-trees appropriate for use with databases and file systems also makes them appropriate for use in main-memory, just with smaller blocks."High Performance JS heatmaps - Codeflow
High Performance JS heatmaps - Codeflow: "You might have encountered heatmaps for data visualization before. There is a fabulous library, heatmap.js, which brings that capability to draw them to javascript. There is only one problem, it is not exactly fast. Sometimes that doesn't matter. But if you have hundreds of thousands of data points to plot, or need realtime performance, it gets tricky. To solve that I've written a little engine using WebGL for drawing heatmaps."DailyJS: A JavaScript Blog
DailyJS: A JavaScript Blog: "Starting a project today involves selecting a package manager, module system, build system, templating language, data binding library, a sync layer, a widget library, and a test framework.
